stall converter

[fatcat]

I have a 2000 camaro 3.8 1:8 rockers, msd dis box, coils, wiresand a CAI and a hypertech programmer. I'm looking for a daily driver that has more kick. What kind of stall converter should I look for i.e how big a stall ect?

3200 will get you where you want to be.

^ at least a 3000 to 3200 would be worth it.

Re: stall converter

So with a 3200, does the car feel like normal until you hit it? What's our stock converter at, something like 1500-1800 stall?

Re: stall converter

3200 slips to about 3500 rpm at light throttle for 1-2-3 shifts...it just pretty much sits at 3500 rpm... then you hit 4th at 60km/h (37mph) and it locks up like normal....wouldnt even know you have a stall in there.

Depends on the year , some are 2000 to 2400. My 02' is around 2200-2400, I ask performbuilt and he said to about a 2600 stall and he said that is just about stock and go with a 3500 back when I was running nitrous. But some have installed 4 cyl. S-10 stalls and get it to stall at 2800-3000 RPMS and for $150 thats pretty good.
